Will liposuction flatten my stomach?
Liposuction will remove fat that is under the skin. The way a person's abdomen looks like is dependent on a few different things. One is the amount of fat under the skin. This is the "pinchable" fat. But there is also fat inside your abdominal cavity around your organs which can cause people to have a "rounded" look to their abdomen. Liposuction will no change that. Only exercise and healthy diet can do that. Another factor to the look of ones stomach is how strong ones abdominal muscles are. If they are not tone then they will allow your abdomen to look round and liposuction will no change that. READ MORE
What happens if you remove your breast implants?
That is a tricky question. It depends on how large the implants are. If they are small then the only thing that changes is your bra size. If they are larger, some patients may need to have a lift done at the time the implants are removed. READ MORE
Does ear pinning surgery hurt?
